Four robbery suspects were on January 22, this year shot during a targeted intelligence-led operation by the Police Service at Gbetsile near Afienya in Tema.

According to the Police in a Facebook post on February 2, the four were part of a robbery syndicate that snatched a Toyota Rav4 mini SUV vehicle from a victim in Accra under the pretext of selling it on the same day.

"A combined Police team of the Anti-Robbery Unit, Intelligence and Surveillance team from the Police Headquarters in partnership with Police officers from Tema Regional Police Command pursued the suspects to a thicket at Gbetsile to get them arrested and retrieve the snatched vehicle," the Police said.

In the police report, four of the suspects aggressively attacked a Police Sergeant and were shot in the process.

"The four suspects were rushed to the Police Hospital but died shortly while responding to treatment. The bodies have been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue for preservation," the Service added.

One of the suspects managed to slip away and evaded arrest.

However, the Police arrested one, who is currently in custody assisting with investigations.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Robbery Squad attached to the Tema Regional Police Command is currently pursuing the suspect who is on the run.

Also, the Police has assured its commitment to fighting crime to make the country safe and peaceful.
